I'm actually alright with the fizzy drinks these days and even bought a bottle of Coke yesterday, had a glass and no problems at all.

I wish folks would post what type of ostomy they have. With my colostomy, there are few foods I can't eat, but I know ileostomates have much greater restrictions.
I missed popcorn for the longest time - now I can eat it.
I miss spinach salad too - also red leaf lettuce.
But the absolute worst, as you've probably heard before, is no fresh pineapple!!!!!! (or coconut for that matter)
Also, I can only drink one Guinness at a time.
MeetAnOstoMate is a pretty cool site with 40,014 members.
There are people here from all walks of life - musicians, firefighters, academics, artists, photographers, paramedics, police officers, teachers, mechanics, entrepreneurs, surfers ... and they all have a stoma.
The main thing is - here, everybody understands what you're going through. And that feels good.
Many come for advice, others stay for the friendships. Some have even found love!
And it's not all about ostomy - we talk about everything.
